Does Ruby on Rails really fails on huge amount of concurrent connections?

I was using Symfony3 with PHP7 and want to explore Ruby and Ruby on Rails. My first impression was "wow".

I won't asking PHP7 vs Ruby. This is not related to that. What I am asking was stated here:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ruby-vs-php-python-simple-microservice-performance-comparison-per

Not only it's outperforming both Ruby and Python based solution it was only engine that passed 500 concurrent connections test without failing any request.

Is that true? Is Ruby or Python (but in my case only Ruby on Rails) really fails on such amount of requests?

How can I do to prevent? How does GitHub doesn't fail while they are using Rails or GitLab for instance?

Are there any other way to start RoR server for better performance?

I am building an app that will be higher usages and thinking to move from symfony3/PHP to Ruby. Am I doing wrong?

I am stuck at this point. Can't go further without knowing or understanding this subject better.

Shopify is Rails 5, and ...

... has been benchmarked to process over 25,000 requests per second
